HUSTON, CITY MANAGER FROM: PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT/ENGINEERING DIVISION SUBJECT: APPROVAL OF AMENDMENT NO.3 TO COOPERATIVE AGREEMENT NO. 12-238 WITH THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA FOR THE NEWPORT AVENUE EXTENSION/SR-55 RAMP RECONFIGURATION PROJECT (CIP NO. 7130) SUMMARY The proposed amendment to Cooperative Agreement No. 12-238 between the City of Tustin and the State of California (Caltrans) extends the agreement termination date to December 31, 2007 from December 31, 2004. The Cooperative Agreement is for the environmental, design and right- of-way phases of the Newport Avenue Extension / SR 55 Ramp Reconfiguration Project (CIP No. 7130). RECOMMENDATION It is recommended that the City Council approve amendment No.3 to Cooperative Agreement No. 12-238 with the State of California (Caltrans) and authorize the Mayor and City Clerk to execute the document on behalf of the City. FISCAL IMPACT Funds to accomplish the work designated as Tustin's responsibilities in the subject agreement are funded within the current CIP No. 7130 budget. This project is funded from a combination of Measure "M" Turnback funds, Measure "M" Competitive funds, Water Capital Improvement Program funds, Developer Bond funds, Developer Cash Payment funds, and Tustin Community Redevelopment Agency-South Central funds. BACKGROUND Cooperative Agreement No. 12-238 provides coordination between the State of California and the City for the Newport Avenue Extension/SR55 Ramp Reconfiguration Project (CIP 7130). The Cooperative Agreement outlines the specific areas of responsibility for environmental, design and right-of-way exchange/acquisition phases of the project. Approval of Amendment No.3 to Cooperative Agreement No. 12-238 with the State of California for the Newport Avenue Extension/SR55 Ramp Reconfiguration Project (CIP No. 7130) January 3, 2005 Page 2 A description of proposed project improvements is as follows: . Extension and widening of Newport Avenue south approximately 1,800 lineal feet from Edinger Avenue to Valencia Avenue. The proposed Newport Avenue extension will be a six (6) lane Major Arterial. The proposed features include three (3) lanes in each direction, raised medians, sidewalks, and bike lanes. Extended double left turn lanes and a separate right turn lane to the SR-55 on ramps will be provided. . Realignment of Del Amo Avenue to intersect with the SR-55 ramps and Newport Avenue, Del Amo Avenue will also be widened to allow for four (4) lanes and provide and added access route to SR-55. A portion of Del Amo Avenue no longer needed for street purposes will be vacated after the project. The realignment of Del Amo Avenue will also necessitate the relocation of a Southern California Edison 66kv Transmission Line that is currently located along Del Amo Avenue. The line is proposed to be under grounded. . Reconstruction of the SR-55 northbound ramps. The current loop ramps at SR-55 and Edinger Avenue will be removed and replaced by hook ramps approximately 1,200 lineal feet south of Edinger Avenue. This configuration offers many advantages including an improved level of service and a reduced weaving pattern on the freeway. A land exchange is planned between Caltrans and the City for the ramp locations that are delineated in Cooperative Agreement No. 12-238, previously entered into between the City and Caltrans. . Widening of the north side of Valencia Avenue from the new intersection with Newport Avenue easterly 350 feet to the existing railroad spur line tracks. . Construction of a new Edinger Avenue and Newport Avenue intersection and widening of Edinger Avenue around the intersection. Edinger Avenue at Newport Avenue will be lowered approximately three (3) feet to accommodate design requirements for the Newport Avenue extension to the north (Phase II). As part of a separate project, Edinger Avenue will be widened to three (3) lanes in each direction to major arterial status. The widening of Edinger Avenue is a part of the Orange County Transportation Authority's Measure "M" Smart Street Program. . New signalized intersections will be provided along Newport Avenue at Edinger Avenue, SR-55 ramps/Del Amo Avenue and Valencia Avenue. The existing signalized intersection at Del Amo Avenue/Edinger Avenue will be modified to accommodate the widened roadways. Provision for a future signal at a mid-block commercial driveway on Newport Avenue north and south of the SR-55/Del Amo Avenue intersection will be made. . Existing landscaping affected by the construction will be replaced in-kind and new landscaping will be provided adjacent to the reconstructed SR-55 northbound ramps. Approval of Amendment No.3 to Cooperative Agreement No. 12-238 with the State of California for the Newport Avenue Extension/SR55 Ramp Reconfiguration Project (CIP No. 7130) January 3, 2005 Page 3 A separate Cooperative Agreement (Agreement No. 12-367) to cover responsibilities and funding for the construction phase of this project was approved by the City Council on September 15, 2003 and by Caltrans on November 10, 2003 DISCUSSION The original termination date for Cooperative Agreement No. 12-238 was December 31, 2000. On December 18, 2000, the City Council approved Amendment No.1 to Cooperative Agreement No. 12-238 which extended the termination date to December 31, 2002. On October 7, 2002, the City Council approved Amendment No.2 which extended the termination date to December 31, 2004. At that time, it was anticipated that the design, environmental and right of way acquisition phases would be completed by that date. Additionally, the agreement needs to be active throughout construction so that the future excess Caltrans right-of-way can be transferred to the City of Tustin. This transfer will not occur until the project construction is completed and accepted by Caltrans. Accordingly, approval of Amendment No.3 to extend the termination date to December 31, 2007 is recommended. The City Attorney has reviewed this amendment and approved it as to form. Tim D.
